That's my point. Why is there a need for Tech? ULL / ULM is a regional CONFERENCE game and recruiting factors in on the game. You guys should develop this game as the big rivalry game.

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the top attendance figure at Tech a game vs. ULM?

I know when I was at Northeast, the 1981 game at Tech, I had to sit on the hill by the locker rooms. No room anywhere else.

Why play ULM in front of a packed house when you can play Idaho in front of 12k?

ULM needs to quit worry ing about TECH and start working to get their football program off life support. Get the excitement back. They can do it but that must be their first concern

I'm just saying that it wasn't Jim Oakes fault, it wasn't Jack Bicknell's fault, and it wasn't Derek Dooley's fault. There are powerful people who hate ULM and do not want this game played.


But if anyone of those three had stood up to whomever these pussies are operating in the shadows then Tech and ULM would be playing again. Dooley definitely drew the proverbial line in the sand though.

I don't understand why any powerful Tech people would hate ULM. Seems to me from talking to Tech people that Tech is so clearly superior to ULM in all facets that Tech would just stomp ULM into oblivion and make a ton of money while doing it. Maybe they are just scared?

There is simply nothing interesting about Tech football at all. Likewise, there is nothing interesting about ULM football. If they played every year, that would be one interesting thing about both of them.

Nobody gives a shite about Tech football.
Nobody gives a shite about ULM football.
A lot of people would give a shite about the Tech/ULM game.

2009 records:

Louisiana Tech 4-8

ULM 6-6

Which program is on life support?

The program that worshiped Dooley, who was Tech's worst coach in 80 years*.

*minimum 2 years at Tech, based on winning %

Maybe by a pubic hair but not by much. Boise State is a top flight program but outside of that there are a bunch of also rans including two teams, Idaho and Utah State that were also rans in the Sun Belt merely a few years ago.

The average Sun Belt team is better than Tech right now.

Yeah I admit watching Tech this year. Why are so many players from South La? I thought all the North La types rave about how great North La HS football is. What about recuriting some home boys from West Monroe, Bastrop, Neville etc
